He approached the Minister of Environment, MS. Anna Lindh. He was concerned over the enormous proliferation of mobile phone antennas. Mr Bager described how in Old Town in Stockholm, on the Vaster Langgata Street in an apartmentbuilding, one can reach out the window and almost touch a mobile phone antenna. In another part of Stockholm, Bredang, four mobile phone antennas have been erected on top of an apartment building. The closest house to these antennas is 25 meters (75 feet). On yet another house, there is another antenna. A day care center is nearby. Mr. Bager wants the government to introduce a safety distance from mobile phone antennas. This might be a good idea. In Gothenburg, on the Swedish wet coast, the Radisson SAS hotel has several antennas and in particular two GSM antennas on each side of a window on the top floor. One wonders of this is wise or if the hotel guest or the people working in the hotel are aware that they might be exposed when sitting in seeming safety inside, only a few feet away from the antennas outside. Most people have no idea what these antennas look like or what their purpose is. They do not have a chance to choose exposure or not. If there was a safety distance, this kind of hazardous placement might have been avoided. leif.sodergren-skandia.se ------------------------------------------------------------------- -> christofer.fager(a)aftonbladet.se -> aimo.asikainen(a)clarinet.fi -> gunilla.lindgren(a)skandia.se -> jamesb(a)wenet.net -> policy(a)edf.arc.be -> jan.aaberg(a)trollhattan.mail.telia.com -> mwn(a)pobox.com -> eght(a)aol.com -> bosse(a)vest.gu.se -> per.dalen(a)helsingborg.se -> fist(a)ozemail.com.au -> marjorie(a)omnifest.uwm.edu -> cogreslab(a)aol.com -> per.segerback(a)uab.ericsson.se -> linn.vadfors(a)etx.ericsson.se -> claude.herion(a)euronet.be -> gjohn(a)bgumail.bgu.ac.il -> martin.andersson(a)liberel.se -> CONNY.ERKHEIKKI-COMMUNIQUE.SE -: - - - - - - - - - - > USER IN MEMONET = -> rturpel(a)innet.lu -> whin-hazards(a)mcr1.poptel.org.uk -> 106144.275(a)COMPUSERVE.COM -> IFG-sa(a)netactive.co.za -> allisonl(a)edison.dialix.com.au -> Olle.Johansson(a)neuro.ki.se -> Jan-Erik.Sjogren(a)digital.com -> LARS.LAUREN(a)TCO.SE -> JYRKI(a)DIKU.DK -> inger.karlsson(a)vardforbundet.se -> rbeavers(a)mail.llion.org -> aphilips(a)gn.apc.org -> emfacts(a)tassie.net.au -> EMRALL(a)AOL.COM -> BDUMPE(a)WORLDBANK.ORG -> JSCHULTZ(a)IDCNET.COM -> TEGEN(a)BEMI.SE Archive provided courtesy of WaveGuide, http://www.wave-guide.org Reprinted with permission of Roy Beavers, http://www.feb.se/EMF-L/EMF-L.html
